Following are excerpts from a poem recited by Saudi cleric Muhammad Al-Farraj, which aired on Shada TV (via the Internet) on September 19, 2013.

Muhammad Al-Farraj: this is a poem about the Russians, who, along with the tyrant [Assad], are responsible for every drop of blood spilled. If not for the alliance between the Russians and the Zoroastrians [Iran], that tyrant would not have survived a single moment, Allah willing.

All those barrel bombs, Mig fighters, and Scud missiles, which destroy entire populated neighborhoods – where did they come from? From those Russians.
